Success is possible
Malaria is an old disease, but it has been eradicated from the USA, Europe
and much of South Asia and Latin America. Efforts to end malaria stopped
before malaria in Africa was brought under control. Now a crisis.

no single intervention on its own is enough.

also at risk of death from malaria. Malaria is a health crisis ... and one

have been available for decades, but we have chosen up to now, not to use all
available tools, with the result that millions are dying needlessly
